Then the unimaginable

The sunlit waves called out our names,

My Eyes Can Still Dance
...I'd like to feel free,
As a bird on the wing.
Join a choir and gustily sing.
Read an exciting book,
Without being disturbed.

Without being overheard.
Sit out in the gar...

Today I cleanse my soul,
Release the past and reach for the new.
